“I paint what delights me, what I encounter with my camera and in my daydreams. An indignant chick. A friend. A haunted place. I paint what I’ve seen, and then go a little further, telling you about my experience with the subject, wishing you to share in it with me, trying to make you laugh or to remind you of a story we all know. Painting is a way of studying those moments, characters, and places that have moved me, of freezing time and looking at them directly and examining their parts. I am the painter, and I am also the viewer.”
